Richard and Stella thank you very much again for taking us to Villa Escudero. I truly had a "FUN"tastic time :-)

Saturday, January 27, 2007.

I am buying some of our group photos taken by the Villa Escudero Photographers. The photos only cost 200.00 Pesos each and are excellent souveniers with the logo of Villa Escudero on the top or bottom of the picture.

"POGI" which means Handsome is the name of the Albino Water Buffalo.

I think "POGI" is making his bladder gladder or maybe doing something else?! POGI I think your eating to much fiber ;-). Checkout the expressions of James, Kevin, and Cameron :-).

Matthew walking on the boardwalk beside the lake. For those who want to try their luck at fishing for some Tilapia Fish the staff rent out bamboo fishing poles and bait for a 100.00 Pesos.

Background is the lake @ Villa Escudero. I should have brought my Fly Fishing Rod ;-).

After lunch we all went to the Coconut Pavilion. The Villa Escudero staff showcased a variety of Filipino songs and dances depicting the different cultures and provinces of the Philippines. The shows were very entertaining and it made me reminisce of the songs and dances I performed when I was in my old Alma Mater - Colegio San Agustin :-).

My delicious lunch. YUMMY! Check out the Coconut soup bowl on the left top corner :-).

The dining area.

I suggest you wear slippers/flip flops or "tsinelas" so you can enjoy the gentle cool flow of the water around your feet :-).

The Villa Escudero public dining area is located beside a man made waterfall. The idea is to dine with the soothing sound of the waterfall and to feel the cool refreshing water around your feet.

Richard saved our group a couple of dining tables for lunch. Thanks Richard :-).

Ken, James, and Arnold.
